    D) The husband could not make any type of contribution, whereas the wife could make a tax deductible contribution.

    Explanation:

    The husband is already participating in his employer's pension plan, so he cannot make tax deductible contributions to an IRA account. On the other hand, the wife is allowed to make tax deductible contributions herself. The husband would have to make after tax contributions similar to a Roth IRA account.
